ALT This oval map shows the whole sky captured by NASA's TESS satellite. It has a grayish white band running across the image just left of center. Blue and orange dots speckle the image, representing confirmed and candidate exoplanets, respectively. A few black lines and arcs are visible in the image, the longest running near the edge from about 11 o\u2019clock to 3 o\u2019clock. There is a small, bright oval at the center. This image is watermarked with \u201CCredit: NASA/MIT/TESS and Veselin Kostov (University of Maryland College Park).\u201D

ALT A solar eclipse, captured from a camera mounted on one of the Orion spacecraft\u2019s solar array wings during the Artemis II crew\u2019s flyby of the Moon\u2019s far side. The Moon is dark, save for a bright halo of white light surrounding it. The Orion spacecraft is in the leftmost half of the image, mostly shadowed.
